Confused So yeah, I am building my ultimate HTPC for 3D so I think Im set for the hardware parts however Im totally clueless about the Software. So please clear my noobness :

- Are Wii U games different from Wii games from Dolphin (latest version) 's perspective?

- There are several formats (?) for Wii games such as NTSC (US, J, EU); PAL (J, EU) , will Dolphin handle them all without a problem?

Thanks in advance for any help! I can already see myself playing lolz cant wait
A few things to note:

Wii U games are very different just like PS4 games are different than PS3 games. Dolphin does not play Wii U games

The format depends but generally yes you will find U, E and J versions of games. If you are wondering about compatibility you can always check out the wiki:

And if you have any issues for specific Wii games, you can ask for help in that game's specific help thread:

That pretty much answer my questions. Thanks for big help!
I think you need Dolphin Pro for wii u games.
But right now Dolphin Pro is only available for Android Angel
You are going to confuse them!...lol
Can't tell if you're being serious or not Jhonn, but the Dolphin Emulator Pro Alpha on Google Play is obviously a rip-off. It's $6 not worth spending. You're better off buying other shady things online. For the OP, Dolphin Pro is a bad joke that never died. At least that's what we want you to believe </conspiracy>

Dolphin doesn't emulate the WiiU and doesn't plan to in the immediate future. If and when such a decision comes, everyone will know about it soon enough.

About region formats, there shouldn't be a whole lot of differences in compatibility between NTSC-U, NTSC-J, and PAL games (e.g. the Wind Waker has all three versions available, but each should run more or less the same). A limited number of games may have issues, say in the PAL version but not the NTSC versions, but those cases don't happen a lot (at the very least, I can't think of an example off the top of my head, although I've seen one before, I'm sure).
I wasn't serious, the Dolphin Pro from Play Store isn't the same Dolphin Pro from the joke (or not) that lurks the forum, just took the opportunity to confuse even more the people Tongue

On a serious side, Dolphin Pro from Android has the same purpose of PPSSPP Gold, supporting the developers, so, besides from the golden icon, it's exactly the same thing from the regular Dolphin/PPSSPP versions...
Whoops, I took two seconds to look at the Dolphin Emulator Pro Alpha and thought it was a knock-off :p

EDIT: Strangely enough, playing PPSSPP right now on my PC (compiled from source) :S
Well, got a bit off-topic, but what's strange about that? PPSSPP is supposed to work in Windows/Linux/Mac/BlackBerry/Android/iOS/Meego/Symbian/Pandora and whatever else, no? At least is what I saw on PPSSPP site...
